Peanut-Coconut Curry with Miso Greens

This was a remarkably easy and quick meal... which was great for a very hungry me. My friend came over and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It has a very distinct peanut taste and the miso greens pair nicely with or simply on the side. Maybe I'll have to have those leftover macaroons too..... Also please note that this was one of my own recipes as well so the measurements are approximate.
